Drama Classes for Kids in Southfields & Earlsfield
If you're searching for children's drama classes in Southfields or Earlsfield, WestWay offers much more than simply rehearsing for a show.
Drama and acting form a key part of our Musical Theatre training.
Children explore acting, improvisation, characterisation, scripts, comedy, storytelling, stagecraft and performance, helping them become more confident and imaginative performers.
Drama classes can also be fantastic for children who don't necessarily dream of becoming actors.
Through drama, young people practise speaking in front of others, communicating their ideas, using their imagination, working as a team and having the confidence to try something new.
For some children, joining a drama class is the beginning of a passion for performing.
For others, it's where they discover their confidence.

Acting, Singing & Dancing Classes for Children
Parents don't always search for the phrase “Musical Theatre”.
You might simply know that your child loves acting, can't stop singing, dances whenever music comes on or spends their weekend putting on performances in the living room.
Our classes bring those interests together.
Children develop their acting through drama, scripts, improvisation and character work, their voices through singing and vocal training, and their dance skills through styles including jazz, ballet and commercial.
It is comprehensive singing, acting and dancing training for children delivered within one weekly class.
Drama Classes That Build Confidence
One of the most common reasons parents look for drama classes for children isn't because their child wants to become an actor.
It's confidence.
Performing arts gives young people regular opportunities to speak, contribute ideas, work with others and gradually become comfortable performing in front of a group.
A child who initially doesn't want to speak in front of the class may eventually volunteer for a line.
A nervous singer may eventually perform a solo.
A child who starts at the back may eventually want to stand at the front.
We believe those achievements are every bit as important as developing excellent performance technique.
A Drama School for Beginners & Experienced Performers
Your child does not need previous drama, dance or singing experience to join WestWay.
Beginners are very welcome.
At the same time, experienced young performers can continue developing their acting, singing and dance technique through increasingly challenging training and performance opportunities.
That means WestWay can be suitable whether you're searching for your child's first ever drama class or looking for a performing arts school to support a young performer with professional ambitions.
